With a solid Google rating of 4.1 from 186 reviews, The Mermaid manages to stand out in Portsmouth’s crowded pub scene thanks to its unpretentious vibe and welcoming locals. It’s the kind of place where you can expect hearty banter, cold pints, and a genuine love for football, especially during Premier League matches.
Screen Setup & Sound
The screen setup is not so much state-of-the-art as it is effective. A couple of large screens hang overhead, ensuring you won’t miss a single goal, even if you’re seated in the back corner. The sound comes through clear, meaning you can catch the commentary while still hearing your mates shout at the referee. It’s simple but gets the job done.
